    This is quite easy in VirtualBox (and most virtualization products):

    When creating/configuring the new Virtual Machine, enable Network Adapters 1 and 2, and instruct them to be attached to "Internal Network". If you give the same value for the internal network name, the cards will be attached to the same virtual switch. This will completely sandbox the network access for the VM.

    You can also do the same through the command line:

    VBoxManage modifyvm <VM Name> --nic<x> intnet
